EV Service and Maintenance

Congratulations on joining the future of driving with your new Ford electric vehicle! At Aschenbach Ford, you might have questions about keeping your electric Ford Mustang Mach-E, Ford F-150 Lightning, or Ford E-Transit humming smoothly. Here's the key difference: EV service and maintenance.

Regular service, typically recommended around every 12 months or 24,000 miles for EVs, focuses on inspections — like brakes, tires, and fluid levels. Your Ford EV doesn't require oil changes, but they do have coolant systems that need occasional checks.

EV maintenance will additionally address wear-and-tear items like tires and cabin air filters. These services are crucial for optimal performance and safety.

Taking good care of your EV goes beyond scheduled service. Here are some bonus tips:

• Manage charging cycles: Avoid constantly plugging in or fully charging and depleting; aim for 20-80% charge for daily use.
• Mind the climate: Extreme temperatures can affect battery range. Pre-condition the cabin before driving in hot or cold weather to minimize range loss.
• Regularly monitor tire pressure: Proper inflation improves efficiency and extends tire durability.

By keeping a simple maintenance routine, you can ensure your Ford EV delivers a thrilling ride for miles to come.
